Montreal chiropractic Nutrition Tip for Osteoporosis: Flaxseed Oil

12/27/2011

chiropractic care is a natural approach to healing. We chiropractors help our patients seek safe alternatives to medications and surgery whenever it's feasible. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic, of course, recognizes the importance of medication, and sometimes the necessary roles these interventions play, but we attempt to help our patients who so desire to manage pain without medication or surgery.

A natural approach, nutrition, is often a vital component added into our Montreal chiropractic services' treatment plan. Science is continually discovering and publishing new information about nutritional health. For example, flax seed may benefit osteoporosis!

Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic's chiropractic team enjoys new findings, and this one, we can see, may help many of our Montreal osteoporosis patients. We've shared lots of information on bone nutrition and how important it is to feed your bones; particularly when you endure osteoporosis. For years, the benefits of calcium and Vitamin D3 - and even beer due to its silicon content and benefit for bone mineral density, but that's an article for another time! (1) - for osteoporosis have been touted.

A new study touts flax seed supplementation as being bone-protective. The researchers suggest that the ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) in the flax seed oil, not necessarily the lignan fraction of flax seeds, is key. They summarize it by saying, eating flax seeds while on estrogen therapy or taking flax seed oil alone is best for supplementation to enhance bone-protection. (2)

So, Montreal osteoporosis folks, keep taking your calcium and Vitamin D3 for osteoporosis and coming to Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic for chiropractic care, but acquire a taste for
flax seed! See if you can find a Montreal restaurant using flax seeds in their recipes. Try the seeds or use flax seed oil for cooking or in a salad dressing. You - and your osteoporotic
bones or pre-osteoporotic bones! - may very-well like and even benefit from it!
